MBA CAT 2022

Hi,


I have a query regarding work-experience.
Does the work-ex still count if it was at the same time as my graduation?
And should I still mention it in the form?

I've been working for the past 2.5 years. (together with my graduation)
It was a full time job and I was on the official payroll of the company as an employee (not as an intern).

Also, I have my own clients as a freelancer. Does that count as work-ex?

62

hey,what is the batch profile of the current batch????? means % of freshers & wrkexp guys...... @MICAstudents


63
@MICAstudents What kind of job profile can a person who is aspiring for a Marketing Profile, expect at the end of the curriculum?
64

Isn't this we always want to know? A typical (not really) day in an MBA's life. MICA Memoirs presents:



A MICAn Day
Mbas
First alarm goes off. I am sleeping blissfully, unaware of worldly problems like the shrill beep of an alarm. My roommate wakes up reluctantly (and possibly cursing me under her breath and I can t blame her for that) and murmurs to shut it off.





65
@MICAstudents IS TER ANY NEGATIVE MARKING IN MICAT EXAM ?

Hello,

I work as a trainee in a leading ad agency.
We receive our monthly income in gambling tokens.
This means, the trainees are not officially on a payroll. Nevertheless, we do get an appointment letter.

I've worked there for 2 months now. Should I still put it as my work-ex?
And is it okay if I disclose my salary (if you can call it that)?

Last year I had 95% in CAT, and I had cleared MICAT confidently (with only bad GK) (but bad Psychometric) !! I had done my M.Tech. in Computer Science from National Institute of Technology Karnataka !! And I had came to MICA, because I was enthusiastic about pursuing my career in Brand Management !! I was wait-listed ! 😞 😞

No hard feelings !! 😃 But now I am gonna reapply to MICA in 2014 ! I can manage the MICAT, or will ask doubts regarding the MICAT when required !!

But can you throw some light on what should I add up to my profile, to make myself more accommodating to the MICA community ?? Like - doin a painting course, or Foreign language, or music or anything that strikes as to be done ??

MICAStudents, I will be really glad if you help me out over here ! 😃 Even I would be glad if MICA aspirants threw some light !!

Learn the difference between marketing and branding....

Hi, While filling up the MICA form for PGDM-C, I wanted to know what we should fill in the CAT/XAT/GMAT score section. Do we need to fill up just our registration IDs for those exams or nothing at all and will we be able to update the scores later if we submit the forms now?

77

Sir,
Are Academics and Work Experience a deciding factor in the final selection

In the Current batches what is the ratio of freshers ?

78

Hi Team Interface

I am very much interested in MICA looking at the website and reviews. I had a query. I have a chemical engineering background and have worked for a year in the engineering industry. Will this hamper my chances? I mean is MICA looking more for people from arts, humanities etc?..Also is there anything specific they look for in the candidate profile like some background in media, advertising etc?

79

What goes down in psychometric profiling? Wat do dey want to know exactly?

80

Hi, I was just going through the admission process and got to know that MICA calls everyone for the first round who fill their form irrespective of their score in CAT ,XAT or CMAT, so I don't understand y do we have MICAT exam in Feb/March, also do we need to pay separately for all these exams?
